S1: After all, I'm Just A Rebound S2: After All, I still Love You- COMPLETED

Love #14

"Ito ba ang gusto mo? Masaya kana? I tolerated all your lavish actions and attitudes but this time it was too much to bear."

Abby Fae's POV

"Then, date me, Mr. Mendez." I said determinedly. Waiting for his answer is like waiting for an hour.

"Pag-iisipan ko, Miss Fernil." My mouth opened a half when he said it with his voice like having a meeting with a client. Love isn't like a business proposal. Well if he wanted it that way I'll give it to him.

I postured myself when I got recover. "This proposal is once in a life time, Mr. Mendez. So, if I were you I'll grab it without a blink of an eye." His looks were the same as mine earlier. Beat it, Fabian!

"I need to think I don't want to bet my heart again. You can have your way out, Miss Fernil." Did he really say that? I left him without my normal self. What was that? Nagpaparinig ba siya. Okay, I admit I don't even say sorry for what I've done before. Kaya nga nabawi na ako diba. Ako na, ako na ang susuyo.

It's been a week since I offered him to date me. He didn't give me a direct answer but we are officially dating. Ang pagkakaiba lang ay parang ako ang lalaki sa aming dalawa. Katulad na lang ng kumain kami sa labas....

"What do you wanna eat? I asked him using my excited voice. This is our first dinner date. I brought him to an Italian restaurant.

I am patiently waiting for his answer while he is scanning the menu. He's moving his lips while eyeing on it. I composed myself when he darted his blue eyes on mine. It is not cold anymore but it feels me intimidated.

"You're asking what I wanna eat." I nodded. "Well, I preferred Filipino dishes right now."

"What? Pero nasa Italian restaurant tayo kaya wa..la..ng -." Natigilan ako sa pagsasalita ng makita ang paraan ng pagtitig niya sa akin. Okay, you're testing me. I know it 'coz I can sense it. Buti hindi reservation ang ginawa ko sa dinner date na 'to.

"Fine. Let's go to another resto. If you're not that hungry and you're able to drive."

"About that..." He massaged his nape and acted like he's freaking tired. "... can you please drive for us, I'm so fucking tired." I was stunned. Did I just hear it right? Hindi naman sa nagrereklamo ako pero halata namang sinasadya niya ang mga nangyayari.

"Sure." I said willingly but deep inside I am getting pissed off. Keep calm.

As he said I was the one drive his car. We had our dinner in a restaurant he wanted. Ang nakakatuwa lang, note the sarcasm, ako ang pinapili niya ng kakainin niya. Kung ano na lang daw ang akin ay ganoon din ang sa kanya. Nawawala na raw siya ng gana. Parang nawalan na rin ako ng gana ng marinig iyon sa kanya. Ang mas nakakatuwa pa ay nang sabihin niya habang kumakain kami na parang gusto niya daw ng pasta. Nasa Italian restaurant na kami kanina tapos..... tapos.... Ugh! Nevermind!

"I'm done." Matabang kong saad. Tumigil tuloy siya sa pagkain dahil sa narinig niya sa akin. Pinunasan ko naman ang bibig ko ng table napkin.

"Are you sure? Hindi pa ubos ang pagkain mo."

"Busog na ako. Sige, kumain ka lang. Iintayin kita." He nodded and continue eating his meal.

Habang tinitingnan ko siya ay parang wala naman sa vocabulary niya ang walang gana. Sarap na sarap pa nga siya sa pagnguya.

Nagwala na naman ang puso ko ng nag-angat siya ng tingin sa akin. I'm not ready. His blue playful eyes are staring at me. What's with the playful look?

"Enjoying the view?" He's teasing me. He wants me to get piss off but I'll never make it happen. I will win this game. I will win him.

"Yeah! The view is too attractive, handsome and manly." Tease me and I'll tease you back. Bakas ang gulat sa mukha niya, parang sa buong buhay niya ay noon niya lang narinig ang mga salitang iyon. The truth is I don't know I have this side, teasing a person. Simula ng nakilala ko siya ay marami na akong nadiskubreng bago sa sarili ko.
